NEW BATMAN TOY : DC Direct's UNI-FORMZ Action Figure

As toy collectors most of us know about the new trend of "Urban Designer" Art Toys. These are toys & action figures that are designed by famous underground artists like Frank Kozik, Shepard Farley, Shag, & Ron English. The kind of artists you usually see featured in Juxtapoz Magazine. Anyway, I guess DC Direct is trying to compete with that, or maybe it's an homage, so they are gonna be releasing some cool "Designer-Style" Action Figures of their classic comic book characters called UNI-FORMZ. Here's the 1st one of Batman. I think he looks extremely cool but I'm not sure if I can afford the $49.99 price tag...ouch!
